Dark Angel // Alex Gaskarth

Chapter Twenty: Our Last Time

Song: Painting Flowers by All Time Low

Angel~ 

I stared at Alex, a sad look overcame my features once I realized that this was going to be the last time I'd see him for two whole months. I didn't want to leave but, thanks to my asshole of a father, I have no choice unless I want my mother to be sent to court.  

"Angel..." Alex began, his voice barely above a whisper. Despite us being in the center of a crowded airport, his voice was the only thing I was able to hear. It seemed like it was just the two of us and no one else in this airport. Thankfully, the guys, mum and my dad all left us alone to give us some privacy.  

He slowly began walking towards me, his hand reached out and he cupped my cheek with his hand. I had promised myself the I wouldn't cry but seeing the pain in his eyes was killing me. I hate seeing Alex in any kind of pain, especially when the reason for that pain is me.  

A small smile appeared on Alex's lips but I could see it in his brown eyes that the smile was forced.  

Some people might say that we're overreacting and that it's only going to be two months apart from each other but.... honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back to Baltimore.  

See, it takes a lot of money to buy a plane ticket and fly back here to Baltimore. My mom doesn't have a job and I doubt my father will be able to help me out but that's not the reason why I'm worried about... I was born in Michoacan, Sahuayo in Mexico.. that means I'm not a 'legal U.S citizen' but, my dad is. 

The only way I'll be able to come back to America is if my dad fixes all the illegal crap and I get my visa but, I doubt he'd be willing to help me out. I know that my father hates both my mother and I. The only reason he's taking me to Mexico is because he wants to ruin my mother's happiness. Fucking prick.  

Alex sighed, "Don't worry, Angel. We'll see each other in a bit." He said, before pressing his lips against mine.  

My eyes became glossy and I wrapped my arms around Alex's neck, deepening our kiss because I knew that this would most likely be the last kiss we would share for a while.  

Pulling away, Alex chuckled lightly, "It's only two months, Angel." He said, forming another small smile.  

"Yeah..." I chocked out, not wanting to tell him that I wasn't a legal citizen and I couldn't come back to America. At least, not in any legal way... 

Alex gave me one last kiss before my father announced that our flight was beginning to board.  

I waved one final goodbye to everyone, knowing that this would be the last time I would see any of their faces, I took one long last look before turning away.

I know this chapter is really short and I apologize for that but I needed to get this uploaded in order to start on the next chapter. I have a sense of what I want to happen next and I don't think this story is going to have a happy ending...
